July 2021 Librarian of the Month

by Kalleen Marquise on Jul 29, 2021

Every month ByWater Solutions recognizes a librarian that has made an impact on their library and community. We are happy to announce the July 2021 Librarian of the Month is John Brice, Executive Director at Meadville Public Library, a part of the Crawford County Federated Library System. They have been self-hosting Koha for many years and just recently partnered with us on Aspen Discovery!

John was nominated by Kyle Hall of our Development Team at ByWater Solutions:

John Brice has been a true advocate for using Open Source Software in libraries long before it was considered mainstream. John was a key player in securing the funding that allowed Koha to be useful for libraries with large collections. His DIY ethic and gregarious personality have lead to many successes at the Meadville Public Library and the Crawford County Federated Library System."

John commented, "Please extend my thanks and gratitude to everyone at Bywater for thinking of me for such a wonderful award."

Thank you, John, for all you do! And Congratulations!
